are palestinians under IDF guard considered lucky?
now that the entire arab world is falling apart (no more Syria, Iraq, Yemen, LIbya, and soon to be with Lebanon and Jordan - since the Hashemites are descendants of Muhammad himself), now that Palestinians in those countries are being slaughtered - do the palestinians under the safety of IDF feel lucky? or would they like to join their brothers and sisters - and fight against ISIS?
3 AnswersPolitics6 years agowhy did israel build the seperation wall?
a lot of time i hear from pro-pals that israel is criminal because of the defense wall erected between israel and the palestinian authority territories.
since this wall is fairly new, why did israel choose to erect it? was it because of simple hate and discrimination of palestinians?
6 AnswersIsrael9 years agojewish refugees 1948?
recently i stumbled upon this article:
http://www.hirhome.com/israel/mallory_browne.pdf
and this one as well:
http://www.justiceforjews.com/chrono_web.pdf
which claims that the jews in arab countries were in threat of their life, and that the idea of persecuting them and stealing their property was an organized plot by the arab league.
what do you think about it?
5 AnswersIsrael9 years agowhy do palestinian refugees have a special body taking care of them?
the UN has an agency to take care of refugees all over the world, and managed to rehabilitate tens of millions of refugees. why do the palestinians have their own UN agency (UNRAW) to take care of them?
14 AnswersIsrael9 years agowhat is a "national home"?
many people here talk about Lord Balfour declaration, and the british mandate over israel to establish a "national home" for the jewish people in Israel.
what is exactly a "national home" then?
4 AnswersIsrael10 years agolegal ownership of Judea and Samaria?
many pro-pals here say that israel doesn't have a right to build in Judea and Samaria. which is weird:
in 1967 israel took control of it from Jordan. Jordan wasn't the legal owner of judea and samaria as they took it by force in 1948. only the UK and Pakistan ever acknowledged jordan's control of Judea and Samaria.
so what about decision 181 - the partition plan? it was merely a suggestion. a suggestion that the arabs declined and the jews accepted. therefore it is worth nothing.
prior to that, after the WW2 the UN validated that Britain should help to build israel as a jewish state.
in 1922, san remo (league of nations) said that Britain is to help build israel as a jewish national home.
in 1917 (same league of nations) gave Britain the mandate over Israel and Trans-Jordan to build a national home to the jews. including Jordan? somehow those british people tricked us and gave in our name 80% of the area.
prior to that it was a turkish territory, but they don't have any claims for it anymore.
so from a LEGAL point of view Israel is the rightful owner of Judea and Samaria, but we are willing to negotiate and help building another arab country so the arabs in Judea and Samaria will have a nationality as well.
so why do the pro-pals here say that israel doesn't have a right to build in Judea and Samaria?
9 AnswersIsrael10 years agoare these the true intentions of palestinians?
this is Abbas Zachi, a member of PLO leadership - watch this interview with him:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyhuqthF2UM
now that he confess about the true nature of the peace talks, should we continue the peace talks with them, or maybe they should elect a new leadership that is interested in peace?
10 AnswersIsrael10 years agoi'm little confused, what came first?

18 AnswersIsrael10 years agoisraeli arabs being silent?
when things like the mavi marmara attack happened in israel, we saw all the arab journalists, publicists and arab members of the parliament talked and screamed (and lied) about it.
now that Assad is butchering his own people, when Qaddafii is fighting his own people, when hezbollah took over lebanon, when hamas executed plo members, and other such incidents - suddenly they are not heard anymore.
how come that ardogan and even ahmadinidude are talking about it, but the israeli arabs are totally silent.
why are they so silent about it?
6 AnswersIsrael10 years agoprotests against israel?
There was supposed to be a huge protest in Cairo, in front of the Israeli embassy after the terror attack near the border.
the protesters said that hundreds of thousands of people will arrive to the protest, but only few hundred people came.
could it be that the majority of egyptians doesn't really care about that incident?
8 AnswersIsrael10 years agopeace treaty between egypt and israel?
for some reason the egyptians in this section say that egypt should cancel the peace treaty between israel and egypt.
does it mean that they want to give Sinai back to israel, and remove all egyptian citizens from there?
after all, the treaty was that we give them Sinai, and they do not attack us.
what do you think the international court will say about it?
11 AnswersIsrael10 years agoDo you agree with Hamas moto?

16 AnswersIsrael10 years agopeace between jews and arabs?
more than once people here claim that prior to the establishment of israel, jews and arabs lived in peace in israel.
why do they make such claim, when it is obviously wrong?
1936-1939 riots
1929 massacre
1922 massacre

1799 massacre
modern history in israel is full with arabs massacring jews. so why do they make such a claim?
13 AnswersIsrael10 years agowhat do you think about this video about Israel?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGYxLWUKwWo
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon has created a clever and informative six-minute YouTube video answering the question of “The Truth About the West Bank.” This is driving the Palestinian Authority up the wall.

10 AnswersIsrael10 years agowho were the snipers in Yafo?
arabs and pro pals in this section insists that israel was to attack first in 1948. so i wonder, of what origin were the snipers in Yaffo who shot at the residents of Tel-Aviv in 1947?
i always thought they were arabs, since the snipers used mosques as a position. (for example Hassan Beck mosque).
